tire report, Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo

P225/75SR15

Well... despite lots of sites praising the grippyness of these tires I can say for absolute certain: If your after a performance (mostly on road tire), these are not what you want.

The sidewalls flex way to much (which is good for wrapping around rocks and overall comfyness) but sucks much for lateral stability. Especially diagonal railroad tracks where the Jeep now acts like a motorcycle. (side to side pitching for those of you that haven't experienced the _thrill_)

Perhaps they will age, I seem to remember thinking the same about my last set of Mich LTX M/S tires.

The tread pattern is good and clears mud well. But possibly too much void to rubber and that is why they aren't as grippy in the corner.

Oh well, time to slow my butt down before I go rubber up on a turn. :)

Hey Doug,

Thanks for the write-up. Maybe I'll email you in a few months to see if they've improved for you at all.. These were what I was going to purchase for the 97ZJ based on all the great reviews online...

Take a look at the Kumho HT and AT. I have the ATs and am very pleased.

Billy Ray did pass the time by typing:

Almost got the Kumho AT.

That's what I did. Based my decision on the comments at various places including tirerack. It did me well for the Mich LTX M/S tires.

Hopefully gonna get a chance in Sep to try these out at Colorado Springs on some of that loose mountain "stuff" or at least on the roads out through Raton. :)
